Hello ladies, my name is terry and I'm gong through a situation with my girlfriend she has 2 kids from 2 different guys and I'm cool with that for as long as I've been with her and known her neither one of the dads had anything to do with them really. I took on the daddy role for both of them I've taken them under my wing and raised them now the oldest ones dad wants to come back into the picture and i feel kinda against it but it isnt my decision thats hers. This guy dorsnt worry about her its all on my plate and the mom has told me nothing but bad things about him and now that he wants back into the picture he has always been this great guy according to her how ahould i take the situation or what should i do ??????? Any feedback would be greatly appricated

If he really wants to be in his childs life then he will need to go back to court and explain why he now has a change of heart. He's the one that signed his rights away.All you can do is be supportive of your wife. Hopefully your marriage is strong and you can trust her 100% because it is sounding like there is doubt on your side.

He's the child's biological father and he has rights. If she says no, he can take her to court to get visitation. In fact, if she withholds the child, he could apply for custody on the basis of parental alienation. It is in your partner's best interests to get court ordered custody for the children and include some visitation for their fathers. If their fathers choose not to exercise that visitation, that's on them, but at least she has established custody. As it stands now, if there is no court order, she possibly doesn't even legally have full custody of the kids.
